For anyone who fancied an upgrade from an iron shed, let's go full on stately home. This is the fabulous, enormous (around 100 rooms) glamourous Haddo House near Ellon. I am currently volunteering there on tuesdays. Partly as it is useful for work to see and work with other collections, partly to help a friend and partly because who wouldn't want to spend a day roaming through a stunning house full of art treasures and history.
Haddo is a C18th house with Victorian interiors and once belonged to Lord Aberdeen, the British Prime Minister. It's the sort of place you imagine Darcy living in. It is set in rolling parkland and formal gardens and even has it's own church. You can currently tour the house on Sundays and Mondays, check out the National Trust for Scotland website.
